Everybody needs someone everybody needs a hand to hold
God knows it ain't no good when love grows cold
Wish I knew where we lost it wish I knew what I could do or say
Make ya bring your love on home life ain't worth livin' this way

Everybody needs somebody everybody needs someone
The sweetest part of livin' is takin' and givin'
And lovin' that special someone all your own
Everybody needs somebody everybody needs someone
Without you I'm only the saddest and loneliest guy in the world

Workin' is a lonely thing and anymore that's all I do
Do ya miss me just a little ain't ya lonesome too
I think about the good times and remember all the fun we had
And wonder how a love so good could turn out so bad

Everybody needs somebody everybody needs someone...
